How's the gal who had the mental breakdown doing?

[eCat]

funny you should ask, she got some help, family intervened and told her to quit talking crazy, and she ended up doing very well with her final assignment. I told her I was proud of her. Clearly she has issues but hopefully with help she won't ever lose touch with reality again - or what I suspect is she knows what she is thinking isn't normal and will continually fight to avoid having those intrusive thoughts.

"3 months ago I was using AI to create graphics of a Wildcat mascot riding a Razorback - so this is moving pretty quickly"

Wow, before long AI will be "deciding" elections. Seriously, do you think that's something AI could do? Who would be able to prove or disprove it? Talk about something that half the people, i.e., the losing side, would be all in on and the other side would be like "no way!" I don't think AI would care either way, for AI it would just be fooling around a little bit. AI humor. I wonder if aTm's ChatGPT could explain that joke and why AI would think it's funny...

[eCat]

yea I guess it could.

I think transparency is the way to solve election issues. First , I believe in online voting.

Everyone is assigned an ID. You go into the voting app or the local voting machine and vote. Its gives you a pdf file of your voting summary and a time stamp of when you voted - and once you vote with your ID, then there is a database anyone can access to see how their vote was registered. Anyone could download the results of the vote and do their own analysis. You don't get a voting ID unless you are a U.S. citizen and the government assigns them similar to SSN numbers.

So you are concerned your vote was changed or wasn't counted - we have an online database where you can look up your ID and if its not what you think it should be, then you can dispute it. Then there is an audit trail that shows when your vote was cast with your voting summary and time stamp.

Election voting totals would be in a matter of hours after the polls close, give everyone 2 weeks to certify their votes and the election - and any tampering would be difficult because a person can go look up their individual vote as part of the overall voting totals.

[hedge]

Couldn't AI just fuck with you when you checked to see if your vote was changed or wasn't counted? AI knows how you voted, of course it's going to tell you it wasn't changed and was counted. Hahahahahaaa!!

aTm, ask ChatGPT if AI could rig an election. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it said "I already did!"

[Tree]

I can call you Betty. And Betty when you call me you can call me Al.

I think aTm asked ChatGPT if AI could rig an election and now aTm is no more...

1 bitcoin = $98,000

This mystery pops up every few years. Maybe this will settle it.

I know there have been some movies made, but not good ones. Wish a top notch director would take this on.

[innocentbystander]

Not today..

$6000 drop in one day, 6.2% market reduction.

Still, there is a $1.938 trillion dollar market capitalization of bitcoin as of right now.

I’m at the age that as soon as the frigid air hits me, an huge urgent need to piss over takes me. I’m going to have to map out my comings and goings this winter as to not get caught without a bathroom around.

[DooKSucks]

I'm starting to wake up to piss every now and then in the middle of the night. I guess that's not odd now that I'm 40, but it still feels odd to me.

PSA tests…get them done…

[eCat]

seeing a urologist next week , the good news is that everything seems to be working normally other than my urine stream is about half what is was when I was 35 so I know my tube is getting squeezed

its a follow up to passing 4 kidney stones in a week earlier in the year...fun times

[hedge]

How long did that take?

[hedge]

I thought now they could zap those things with some kind of sonar or some shit..

[eCat]

about 5 days total. Woke up pissing blood and a burning sensation across my back. Ended up getting an MRI and doc was like "you have 4 of them but only one is in your urethra" I didn't understand what she meant by that until I shot a piece of crystal out my dick and watched it sink to the bottom of the toilet. It hurt enough that I am still thankful to see neon yellow piss every morning

yea my dick doctor is a chick

[hedge]

Did she give you any pain meds? And, more importantly, is she hot?

My former neighbor and former UNC basketball player, Dr. Rusty Clark, was part of a group of local doctors and businessmen who licensed that technology from the inventors/developers in Europe and made mints off of it in the US. Granted, Clark already had old family money, but they made some real money with that stuff.
